      Heading north...

      March 18, 2022 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌧 16 °C

      Today we travelled north to Kaikoura as a stopover before make the strait crossing again.
      But before that we have spent 5 days with Nan. These have been fairly quiet days - Nan is not much up for going out these days and the weather was pretty ordinary - some showery days and cool too - 12/13 degrees.
      We went for a couple of bike rides - yesterday did about 20km around town.
      Our days were pretty much - breakfast, me drive down to the "Triangle Cafe" - bring home coffee - do Wordle - think of something to do for the rest of the day.
      Repeat coffee run again at 3.

      We had some gear to swop with Mary & Bob so arranged to meet for lunch at Woodbury (inland from Geraldine) - Nan was coming too, but she cancelled at the last minute - the cafe at Woodbury was pretty good and we spent a nice time there.
      When the rain was forecast I decided to do some photos in Nan's garden while there was some sunlight and I was happy with those.
      We packed last night and things went smoothly and on the road to have lunch with Lorraine - we got some Sourdough at Raewood. Lorraine made a great vegetarian soup - and we had some pudding with coffee to follow.
      We left Lorraine just after 3 - the drive to Kaikoura was great - light traffic and some sun for a change.
      Nicks bike rack has worked well - very easy to get bikes on and off and we got the system of off loading and re loading cases, bags and stuff, perfected.
      The sea in the strait tomorrow look ok, so we should get a good trip.
      Looking forward to catching up with some Wellingtonians over the weekend.
      Next week the house painting starts
